remarkably the average age of their NHL forwards continues to rise, now at 31.2
Draisaitl and McDavid are their only signed NHL forwards under 30

Henrique will replace McLeod fairly easily. Let's be honest, we're talking about Ryan fricken McLeod here. He was garbage when he played for the Oilers and will continue to be garbage with Buffalo. To trade a 4th line center for a prospect with top-6 offensive upside is a steal for Edmonton. Let's not pretend like McLeod was the key kog in the greatest penalty-killing team in history. They went on a penalty killing hot streak for 2 months, that's it. Now they get to flip one of their scrubs for a legitimate prospect with actual upside while clearing them the cap space to at least sign Holloway? Brutal by Buffalo.
